Hi All--This is for fly tiers mainly but all hooks are inclusive. Have you ever heard of or used "Sabrehooks". They are supposedly a top of the line hook made in Japan! They have a comparison chart with TMC, Dai ichi, mustad, Dai riki and others. I mainly use the above listed with the exception of mustad (I use them on occasion) I am curious as I would like to order some but would like imput on them first! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!---Bill J. |

I've heard of them, but never used them but It's safe to say you can't go wrong with Lazer Sharp(they're made by Eagle Claw, so of course they're good). |

Check all TAKLE made in China!!!I purchased abunch of eagle claw hooks along with 4`` and 6`` leaders.While making poppers one of the small hooks bent in my fingers ( they wernt tempered right)The rest seemed fine.The 4`` leadres were not crimped at all(so I made super spinners)6`` ones were not crimped either(made a cool salamander treble butt and gut with a steel 3`` leader) So there mess up was my benifit.But check there stuff before you lose a big one.
